Project Overview

A Legacy and Partnership

Thousands of students came together to leave their legacy at Fresno State. In March 2018, two-thirds of voters said “yes” and approved a fee
referendum of $149 per semester, supporting the building of a new, approximately 84,000-square-foot student union on campus. This building will be a signature building for co-curricular life at Fresno State.In an effort to keep student fees affordable, a portion of the total cost was reserved to inspire community support. In honor of a transformational gift, the
building has been named the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Student Union.
